marbellaton Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Believe it or not I raised largely the same objections but they're adamant that the people bankrolling Leverkusen have this few-year strategy. The way Bayern use Dortmund as a "feeder" club but both have been by and large the dominant two in the BL, Bayer (the pharmaceutical owner) would need to have a real bankroll one close season to go for it. Massive gamble though despite Wolfsburg most recently pulling it off (again bankrolled but old head manager had the team playing to a system with two cracking, in form strikers (bit like Leicester last season with all the big guns faltering)). As you said, never say never (Leicester) but I do feel they should strengthen and consolidate as the main challenger before really going for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, never say never (Leicester) but I do feel they should strengthen and consolidate as the main challenger before really going for it. Again, couldn't agree more - but the impression I got was that they are looking to time this bankroll gamble very carefully, and that is very hard to do. Even if they managed to time the downfall of Bayern to the correct year, there's no saying that a Dortmund or even an HSV or someone couldn't storm to the top of the league. I think what they were getting at is, Leverkusen aren't going to just sink into the mid-table but rather try to build something and bide their time. It'll be funny as fuck if they fail, though.

AyrshireTon Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Ayr supporting mate sent me this - says it's in the Sunday Post. Am hoping it's a wind up. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

dunning1874 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It's the fucking Sunday Post, settle. If it is true and Ayr are outbidding even the likes of us, Raith or QoS for full-time signings, they'll be as dead as Rangers within a few years.

Chesh Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 In the outside chance that this happens serious questions have to be asked of the Morton Board as to why we couldn't offer terms McManus wanted and Ayr could...

I don't think he was that great last season so maybe they rate him more highly than Duffy and are prepared to pay over the odds for him. That said, I'd still like him to come back.

That said, I'd still like him to come back. To be fair he was played out of position behind denny In the more high profile games. I think he has plenty more to offer at this level if we use him like we did in league 1.
